I Am Kreativ Too
Posted on the 06 September 2012 by C. Suresh
I
have been called various names in my life – most, if not all of them,
pejorative – but ever since I started actively blogging, I have been called
names that my real life friends would stoutly refuse to acknowledge as being
descriptive of me. First a lot of bloggers called me Versatile. When I told my
friends about it, the first reaction was, “You are lying!” When I proved it with
the respective blog posts the unanimous outcry was, “What did you pay them?”
We
live in dissolute times and the most altruistic of us have to prepare ourselves
for such unjust accusations. Despite the fact that they could invite the
attention of India Against Corruption, two wonderful bloggers – Kappu and Sapna
– have dared to call me Creative. Ouch! Being Creative means that I have to be
creative with my spelling as well so it is actually Kreativ. The saving grace
for this duo is that my friends may actually agree with them in part – if only
for the creative excuses I have made all my life to avoid work!
Unfortunately,
it would stretch what remains of my creativity to impossible limits to find
more facts to share about me. If there be any such strange person who is
actually interested in knowing things about me, I would invite him to I amVersatile, Versatile Again, Tagged or And now the Liebster. Enough facts about
me will be presented there for even the most masochistic person to eschew any
further interest in my persona or doings.
I
must also beg off on finding more bloggers to pass on the award. My creativity
is temporarily in abeyance and, thus, I find myself at a loss for an acceptable
excuse for not doing it (See what years of not working can do to you. While I
was working I could always find admirable excuses for avoiding work!). I can
only plead laziness. There are so many great bloggers around so it is not a
dearth of Kreativ bloggers but the sheer effort involved in listing them and
providing links that is a killer. I do think I have done my share of bringing
great bloggers together with appreciative readers in my short span of five
months, so I think I am entitled to a free pardon on this issue this time.
The
one thing that has surprised me in my days of blogging – and that which
continues to surprise me as can be seen by my permanently bemused look – is
that fact that there are so many people in this blogosphere who have affection
for me. I am and will continue to be indebted to them.
Many
thanks Kappu and Sapna for considering me Kreativ!
